I just turned 39 in July (hey one year of difference is nothing), and just got pregnant with our 2nd. child after 2 years and 4 months of actively trying and after 4 years of not avoiding (my daughter is 4 years old and I never ever took birth control pills).

I hope you can get preggers soon...are you charting?

Congrats! How far along are you ? Did you use fertilty treatments?
I have been charting for at least three years. I just found out after my first round of clomid that I didn't ovulate. I'm not sure if that means maybe I haven't been ovulating these past couple years. Or if the clomid affected me that way. I am just getting back from vacation where I didn't think about it at all. Was a nice break.

Thanks for your kudos! & best of luck with a comfortable & healthy pregnancy

Well my story is that I was diagnosed with PCOS back in 2001, in 2008 after 3 months in a treatment consisting in 850 mg. of Metformin a day, 100 mg. of Clomid from day 5-7 and then monitoring my follicles and when they reached about 20mm I was given an HCG Shot to help it release the egg, I got preggers. The Metformin I was on since Day 1 though.

This time around I was not in the same position (money wise) so I just tried naturally with only the Metformin and got preggers after 2 years and 4 months of actively trying to catch that eggie.

I do have to add that in both ocassions I got preggers after losing at least 20 pounds due to diet and exercise.

I am currently 5 weeks and 4 days pregnant...

CONGRATS!!! Thanks for sharing/I really feel that weight is an issue/ When I got pregnant with my daughter i had been doing yoga and in better shape/ I am about 10 lbs now over weigght just lost about 9 lbs. I wsa told not to diet during TTC but forget it/ I think it's too powerful
Gonna try and drop at least anothert 5 lbs and then give a go... thanks for the info on what you have done. I def do not have the extra cash and with my doc "wasting" this last IUI I have even less.

Cant wait to watch your progress so happy to hear for a positive test!!!!
